EQ: How does the use of renewable and nonrenewable resources affect our ongoing energy crisis?LT: I can explain the implications of the depletion of renewable and nonrenewable energy resources and the importance of conservation. • POU: I will compare and contrast renewable and nonrenewable resources. I will demonstrate mastery of the standards by answering at least 80% of the test questions correctly. • Warm Up • Alternative Energy Test
Warm-up 2/5/14 A researcher is designing an investigation to study whether growing corn for machine fuel is a reasonable strategy to conserve nonrenewable energy resources. Which should the researcher measure? A. petroleum consumed per unit of corn fuel energy produced B. greenhouse gases released per unit of corn fuel energy consumed C. impact of use of farmland for corn fuel production on food prices D. impact of use of farmland for corn fuel production on local ecosystems

Energy Vocabulary 5 • Nonrenewable – natural resources that can not be replaced at the rate at which they were formed. • Fossil Fuel – (oil/ petroleum, coal, natural gas) take millions of years to form • Renewable - replaced through natural processes at a rate ≥ the rate at which they are being used. • Biomass - is the burning of organic material (wood, vegetable oil, dung) to produce heat energy • Solar Thermal - using the heat of the sun for cooking and heating water • Solar Photovoltaic - convert light energy directly into electricity, commonly known as “solar cells.” • Hydroelectric - “Hydro – meaning water”, water used to generate electricity typically through a dam • Nuclear Energy – energy produced when the center of an atom is changed.
